If you’re looking to strengthen both your operational security knowledge and your consulting and management capability, this combined pathway offers a well-rounded and practical solution. By pairing the Level 4 in Physical Security Consultancy with the CMI Level 5 in Principles of Management Consulting, you develop both the technical understanding and the professional skills needed to operate effectively in client-facing roles.
Throughout the distance learning courses we enable you to achieve a broad and comprehensive understanding of risk management and its associated practices. The goal is to not only significantly improve your skill set and gain a selection of recognised qualifications, but to also develop your practical understanding and widen your future career opportunities. As an example, many of our former students have gone on to secure senior positions within the 'Big Four' consultancies; Energy and Extractives, Aviation, Defence and Media, as well as other leading risk management organisations. At all levels, our SRMC® courses will also equip you with the skills required to consult in a broad range of risk management and business practices.
The PSMC Level 4 course is aimed at professionals seeking to understand physical security management, whether with a view to entering the industry or for risk professionals from other sectors or levels seeking to enhance their understanding of this field. It covers the principles and concepts behind physical security management and their application, what physical security measures are and how they are used.
Additionally, the CMI Principles of Management Consulting course has been curated using the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 5 Professional Consulting qualification framework and is the first unit students must complete on their journey to Chartered status. It aims to provide an introduction to the consultancy professional an appreciation of the wide range of skills & knowledge required to be an effective consultant no matter your sector, background or industry.

The courses are designed to be accessible to you wherever you are located, as long as you have Internet access.
Each course is led by a designated Course Tutor, and the various Unit learning sessions are delivered by subject specialists. You will be able to communicate with the Course Tutors who will support, guide and advise you throughout the programme.
Both the PSMC Leve 4 and CMI Level 5 can be completed at any time, at your own pace. Each course is expected to take 4 - 6 weeks, however students have 1 year of enrolment to complete the courses.
No problem - just contact your Course Tutor and we will be able to pause your studies until you are ready to continue.
If you are struggling to keep up, or need more time and support, all you need to do is to contact the SRMC Course Tutor and you will receive the necessary support, guidance and advice to keep you on track. The FRG Team is highly experienced in delivering and supporting online learning and we are here to assist you throughout.
You have access to the materials 24/7; and any live sessions will be timetabled so that they are able to match time zone requirements of each cohort where possible. In some cases, there will be repeated live sessions to ensure that all students have the opportunity to attend from varied time zones and each live session will be recorded and uploaded for students to listen back in their own time.
You will need to be committed to your studies and will have to do some reading in your own time. The courses are not designed to catch you out, but to provide you with information and content that increases your knowledge. As always, if you feel that you are struggling, all that you need to do is contact the Course Tutor for assistance. If you are worried about the level of study, it is recommended to complete the PSMC Level 4 course first as this is pitched at an easier level so will help to ease you back into a student mindset.
The courses are each comprised of 120 learning hours, split between guided learning and self study. The actual amount of time you spend on the course will depend on the amount of effort that you can commit alongside other priorities. Students have up to 1 year to complete the courses, and will be expected to self-study to build knowledge and understanding in order to complete the assignments.
Each course has assignments which need to be completed in order to achieve the award. You will be given the timescales, requirements and full details in your Assignment Brief provided by the Course Tutor. As always, your course leaders will be there to guide and advise.
Provisional feedback on internally marked assignments will normally be given to you electronically within 3 working weeks, if not earlier. Final PSMC results will need to be ratified by our accrediting body, ATHE, who externally assess your work once all of the assignments are complete. You will receive your final results at the end of this process. For the CMI course, assignments will be provisionally marked by the course leader before being sent to CMI for the final assessment.
For those who wish to, and at your own expense for food and accommodation, you will be able to attend our residential SRMC course for specific subject sessions related to your studies as an additional option.
Choose one of the payment methods outlined above and immediately enrol, or reach out to one of the team if you wish to claim use of your ELCAS or pay via another method. At the start of the course, you will be prompted to fill out a Student Information Form where you will be able to pick your chosen cohort and elective unit.
